Designing and developing secure, reliable, and scalable distributed systems.
Driven by automation, smart architecture, and meaningful impact. Always exploring new challenges and always focused on making things simpler for people.
Let's connect and build something resilient.
Hi, I'm Ani
I'm an engineering leader with deep experience guiding teams and shipping resilient platforms from startups to enterprise scale. Technical rigor meets curiosity here from secure architectures to practical automation.
When I'm not designing systems, I'm chasing horizons: hiking remote trails, logging long distance road trips, or framing the perfect shot through a camera lens. Exploring craft beer, bourbon, and new ideas keeps the creativity sharp.
Ask me about the latest in cloud, AI, road adventures, or how to make complex systems feel effortless.
